Chef Paul C. Reilly and his sister, Aileen V. Reilly, debuted Beast + Bottle at 719 East 17th Avenue in 2013, relying on Colorado farmers and ranchers to supply much of the meat and produce on their menu. Over the past eight years, the restaurant has become one of the best in Denver despite its tiny kitchen and dining room. But the building that Beast + Bottle occupies has been sold, and the new owner wont be extending its lease. As a result, the Reillys will be closing the place after dinner s...

Just over a year ago, Gerry Kim and Josh Gertzen, the owners of the duo of Frozen Matter ice cream shops in Uptown and Washington Park, purchased Sweet Action, an established Denver brand with its own loyal following at 52 Broadway. While the pandemic postponed Kim and Gertzens plans for merging the two brands, theyve recently been putting those plans in motion.

Youve already signed up for monthly music, television, gym and other services, and if youre even more modern, maybe your socks and underwear are coming via mail through a monthly subscription.

But the brand-new eatery was opening in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, and nobody knew exactly which direction the statistics would go. "By the time we were getting going, we were ...

720-598-6798 My Thai Cafe is the newest of three, taking over the former home of Jack-N-Grill (which was once part of a triangle of breakfast burrito purveyors competing in a price war) on Federal Boulevard. With a modern interior, a full bar and a spacious patio, its a great place to linger over drinks and plates ordered family-style for sharing. One dish you wont find at the other two: khao soy, the northern Thai dish comprising chicken braised in a yellow coconut curry, soft noodles and a ...

Charcoal Bistro will hold an employee appreciation night on April 22, with all sales going toward the staff, before closing permanently after dinner service on April 24, 2021.

Louisiana produces more than 100 million pounds of crawfish annually, so getting a few thousand pounds to Denver for a restaurant shindig shouldnt be a problem, right? Well, if you consider that crawfish are kept alive until just before they become your dinner, that fact adds cost and complications. But Elise Wiggins, chef owner of Cattivella in the Central Park neighborhood, is willing to go to great lengths to bring her customers a taste of her home state. Wiggins is planning her second annua...

Seventh-generation Coloradan Adam McKenzie is better known as This Jew Can Que, the name of the food blog and Instagram page he maintains to spread the word about home barbecuing. McKenzie is a schoolteacher by day, but once he gets home, he can usually be found firing up his backyard pellet smoker to put good grub on the table for family and friends. His love of cooking — and sharing recipes — has led to a new cookbook created in conjunction with Traeger called The premise of the book, Mc...
